Suggest Treatment For Hepatitis B Infection

Question: Hello Doctor,
This is in regard of my father.
My father had a severe Jaundice in the year 2008. During that time his Billurobin had increased to 25. But everything became normal after proper medication. But during that time he was also diagnosed with Hepatitis B.
We have not taken any further action on hepatitis B after that. Please can you suggest a medication/tests and other things we should do so that at a later date it should not harm my father.
Recently we did also did various types of tests. I am attaching a report of the same for your reference.
Look forward to hear from you.

My father did some lab tests/check ups earlier this year. I am sending you over the reports of the same. Can we infer something out of these reports?
